RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) - A Palestinian man on Wednesday succumbed to wounds he sustained two weeks ago by Israeli gunfire in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
A ministry statement identified the man as Fadi Washha, 34, from the town of Birzeit near Ramallah.
An Egyptian-brokered truce that took effect in the early hours of May 21 ended Israel’s 11-day bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
Israeli attacks in Gaza and the West Bank since April 13 killed at least 290 Palestinians, injured more than 8,900 others and left behind a trail of destruction.
Health centers and media offices as well as schools were among the structures targeted.
